You kissed my knee so softly then <br /> And pressed it to your breast. <br /> And then you turned your head to me <br /> And laid it there to rest. <br /> <br />You took your hand and squeezed my thigh <br /> And closed your eyes to smile. <br /> I was so glad to have you there, <br /> To hold me for awhile. <br /> <br /> As I sat perched in the window <br /> And you stood at my side, <br /> I realized it was a dream <br /> And you were not my bride. <br /> <br /> Awakened from another dream <br /> As I am every day. <br /> I just turned to rise in sorrow <br /> For dreams that go away. <br /> <br /> I endure my days in sadness <br /> And bottle up my tears. <br /> I store them for the evenings, <br /> Though some I've held for years. <br /> <br /> But I still know the night will come <br /> When all my dreams come true. <br /> And I will see you once again, <br /> The one I never knew.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-one-i-never-knew/
